[Distutils] Status of distutils & Co.?

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

while lurking on this lists for quite some month, I'm still wondering 
about the status of all the different distutils tools, including 
setuptool, pkg_resources, pip, ...). To my impression, there are some 
efforts around, but I'm missing some kind of overview or strategy. 
Beside the forest of tools, it seams to me, as if the distribution 
format is not "stable": pip seams to prefer archives over eggs.

Is there some PEP describing the status and future of Python packaging?
